Usually Guide identifies the target very quickly. The only exception is for
large objects (e.g. Veil Nebula), but that is rather normal because in that
case I probably click rather far from the right point. For example, Guide
identifies M92 at the first click, whatever the zoom level (I click near the
center of the symbol).
Or perhaps your screen is crowded with stars, deep sky objects and user data
sets ?
